June Disagrees

Hi!!
|
|
The school holidays have started and somehow that makes me wonder where the year has gone. In a way, it feels as if Christmas was only a few weeks ago. Yet here we are, with summer underway since last week and June marching forward.
|
|
May certainly did a good job. It was the warmest May on record and gave us plenty of sunshine to enjoy. June, on the other hand, seems to have looked at its predecessor and decided not to compete. Looking at the forecast, rain is expected every single day of the coming week. Not exactly the start to summer that many of us had in mind.
|
|
|
|
Still, this is Ireland, and if we waited for perfect weather before doing anything, we’d spend most of our lives looking out the window. The good thing about Dublin’s event scene is that it adapts well. Outdoor events may require a rain jacket and a bit of determination, while indoor events continue to be attractive.
|
|
So go for it, join the “dodge the next shower” game and enjoy the plenty of things happening around the city.
|
|
Let’s see what’s on this week.
|
|
(Another jinxed Friday night and Saturday morning. The event gods are not on my side at the moment. Apologies for another super late Dublin Event Guide.)

If you have friends or family or colleagues that also enjoy cultural events in Dublin, let them know that they can sign up for the free weekly Dublin Event Guide newsletter at https://getthislink.com/DEGSignup

The working title for my video series on YouTube is the “Better You” videos, they are all about 5-7 minute long about how to better your life. Check out this video series if you want to achieve more in life, but are talking yourself out of it. https://www.youtube.com/@JoergSteegmueller

|
Donations in June:
EUR 82
|
|
(By the end of the month, this number has to reach or exceed EUR 200 to guarantee the continuation of the Dublin Event Guide.)
|
|
|
If the Dublin Event Guide helps you to find out about free events in Dublin, please help with a donation.
|
|
The counter here shows the current donation status. By the end of the month EUR 200 will be subtracted to pay the bills. If more money has been donated, the rest will be carried forward. If donations have stopped below the EUR 200, the missing amount will be carried over.
|
|
|
|
Last week the wonderful people who helped with a donation were Jeannine and Amy. Thanks so much! I really appreciate if Dublin Event Guide readers are helping. It makes a big difference and your donations keep the Dublin Event Guide going week after week.
|
|
Keeping the Dublin Event Guide going is quite low cost at just EUR 200 per month, but I need you to help getting the money together to cover the cost. Without that there will be no Dublin Event Guide!
|
|
With the above counter you know at all times where we stand and when donating is needed. Donations keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and all donors will also get some additional bonuses.
|
 |
|
Here are some more details about donations:
Any amount is appreciated, but if you are looking for a recommendation, then I suggest a donation of 12 Euro per year. – That’s just one Euro per month and you get FOUR Dublin Event Guides for that Euro! If your funds are limited, but you still want to help, you can buy a virtual coffee for just EUR 4. All donations will be used in full for the Dublin Event Guide.
|
|
To donate, use the Dublin Event Guide Donation Page here: https://gturl.eu/DEGdonate. It is really easy to use and uses Stripe’s trustworthy payment processing. You can even sign up for a yearly subscription on the donation page! Yearly subscriptions will give some important financial stability and reliability to the Dublin Event Guide and are therefore very much appreciated! (Look for the RED subscription buttons at the bottom of the Donation Page.)
|
 |
|
In case the donation page doesn’t work for you, the old links are here: You can donate via http://www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide or for Revolut users among you, just use @joergbrb or now also https://revolut.me/joergbrb
(If possible, please send your full name and e-mail address as a message with the payment via PayPal or Revolut so that I can tell you about bonuses for donors when available.)
|
|
To buy one or two or even three virtual coffees for the Dublin Event Guide, come to the “Buy Me a Coffee” page here https://www.buymeacoffee.com/DublinEventG
|
 |
|
And there is one other way to help and it is even free: If you come to http://www.DublinEventGuide.com and check out some of the ads and click on the ones that you find interesting, that also helps with a few cent! ?
Thank you!!

Please note: To speed up the creation of the weekday section of the Dublin Event Guide, I am experimenting with a few minor changes. One is that I am not adding the full address of the venue to all events anymore (for now). If you don’t know where the venue is, you will find it by checking the event link.

+++ Cruinniu na nÓg – National day of free creativity for children and young people under 18
If you have children/teenagers to entertain or if you are a teenager, then the main event for you today is Cruinniú na nÓg. There are events happening all over Dublin, in libraries, museums, The Ark, Axis, National Concert Hall and many other venues.
All events are here
https://cruinniu.creativeireland.gov.ie/events/ Events
Separated out for the four parts of Greater Dublin, you find the events here

Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, for example, has lots of events, so don’t limit your search to Dublin City.

?+++ Bloomsday Festival
From 11-16 June, the Bloomsday Festival takes place in Dublin. The festival is based on an imagined day in James Joyce’s Ulysses. So unlike most commemorations, it is not celebrating a historic event, but a fictional one: 16 June 1904, the day on which Leopold Bloom wanders through Dublin in Joyce’s famous novel.
Every year, fans of Joyce and lovers of Dublin’s literary heritage dress in Edwardian clothes, retrace Bloom’s route, attend readings and enjoy music and performances inspired by the period. To outsiders, this can seem a little odd. After all, people are re-enacting a day that never actually happened.
Then again, how different is that from Star Wars fans dressing up as Darth Vader or Han Solo? Both groups are celebrating imaginary stories and get great enjoyment out of it. One group uses lightsabres, the other straw hats and waistcoats. Both passions are a little unusual or odd, but are completely harmless.
Over the years, I have found that people tend to fall into one of two camps: either you love Bloomsday and look forward to it every year, or you don’t really understand what all the fuss is about. Both positions are perfectly valid.
But one thing is certain: Bloomsday has become a big cultural festivals and there are dozens of events taking place across the city, many of them free. So if Bloomsday is your thing, enjoy every minute of it. And if it isn’t, enjoy watching one of Dublin’s yearly oddities. ;-)
You can find the full programme a https://www.bloomsdayfestival.ie/ I have listed a good few events in this week’s Dublin Event Guide, but for next week you should check the vast amount yourself. I will only list a selected few highlight events.

? +++ Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again – Daily Tour
From Monday to Saturday every day at 11:30 and 14:00 a tour of the “Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again” exhibition will take place in the Bank of Ireland Culture & Heritage Centre, College Green, Dublin 2, D02 VR66. Booking is not required. https://www.nli.ie/exhibitions-events/daily-tours-seamus-heaney-listen-now-again-0
Seamus Heaney (1939-2013) was an Irish poet, playwright and translator. He received the 1995 Nobel Prize in Literature. Heaney was born in Northern Ireland and lived in Sandymount, Dublin4 from 1976 until his death.
|
|
+++ Dublin Castle Closed until January
From 05 May, Dublin Castle, Ireland’s most popular tourist attraction will be closed because of the EU Presidency until 31 December 2026. And from June, the Chester Beatty Museum will also close until January.
|
|
+++ Dublin City Council Culture Company
Every week, the Dublin City Council Culture Company organises cultural events in venues in Dublin. They are events in addition to the normal events in museums, galleries and other venues. All events are free, but access is by registration only. And these events are POPULAR!! So when I get to checking them out on the Friday before they take place, the most interesting ones are usually already booked out. If you are interested, check them out here https://cultureclubdublin.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/shows
|
|
+++ LEARN A NEW SKILL WITH ONLINE COURSES
Is there ever a wrong time for learning a new skill or enhancing what you are already interested in? Maybe it is a language or an instrument or some technical skills? Or something completely different? Nearly every subject is there! Check out Udemy via the link below, they have thousands of courses and there is good chance that what you are looking for is available. Nearly all the courses are REALLY affordable!
The lowest price most of the time is EUR 12.99. Sometimes it even goes down further to EUR 9.99 and when that happens (about once or twice a year), I will tell you. But even 12.99 is definitely a good price for what you get! – Check out the website at https://www.getthislink.com/Udemy22 And if you buy through that link, you also help the Dublin Event Guide! :-)
|
|
+++ IKEA Crafting / Music / Cooking Workshops
Ikea in Ballymun runs a variety of crafting, music and cooking workshops it is always worh checking out. The workshops are free and usually go for 45 minutes. They are always for children, but the age is often not fixed. There are specific Toddler and baby workshops at times as well. Check them out on https://www.ikea.com/ie/en/stores/events/ikea-ballymun/
